Just text, good enough for a first try. I'm a total noob as far as reticulum and all things lora go, so that was just a fun thing to try. Will look into it a bit more when I find the time...

Nicely done! One suggestion though: it would make much more sense to use Mikrotik hardware instead of the RPi. While I love everything RPi related, this might not be the perfect job for it (especially for the Zero).
Nowadays even the most affordable Mikrotik routers support Wireguard out of the box. hAP for example is more or less equally priced as RPi Zero, while being more powerfull and you don't have to worry about SD card corruption (which happens regularly when using swap all the time) or other stability issues. It's also easier to setup as you have a GUI and a ton of tutorials on this subject already.
Having said that, keep up the good work, I'm looking forward to part 2 of the series!

Do you have an easy way to accept scheduled payments to support the kids? For example if I want to send some sats to surfer kids once a month, how do I do it? Do you have a dedicated lightning address only for that cause? On your donation site I can only do one time payments that go to your general crowdfunding campaign.

One Raspberry Pi Zero, one temperature/humidity sensor, four momentary buttons, five leds and a lot of wires later, the S9 now has three predefined heating modes to work with.

I put it in the case even though it still works on ethernet cable. Now I'm playing with the settings. Any suggestions on how to balance max power and fan speed?

Found a python library to talk to it (pyasic), so next I'll try to do some basic automation on it.

Good idea! I have cats, will probably need to do something similar :)

A few of the heatsinks fell off during transport, so my first mission of the day was to glue them back to the hashboard.

While waiting for adhesive to do its job, I flashed sd-card with braiins os. And since the hashboards were already out, I also set the jumpers to boot from sd-card.

After the glue hardened I slided the hashboards back in, then mounted the brackets and fans. Now it's almost ready for first flight!

After lurking in nostr shadows for years, today I'm posting a note! As a long standing lightning node runner, I'm trying out something new for me.
The weather has gotten cold enough I can finally assemble my S9 heater that Bert from @npub1qvw…2h4p kindly sent to me a month or so ago. Here's the miner, its case and some more stuff I'll need to build it.

So far it works for me, even though I don't like it. Is there a way in the settings to say "I don't want anything translated ever from any language"? It's very annoying to have to click every possible language once. Like a general off switch for translator?

See the link below. If you have your own domain you can easily set it up yourself. Otherwise apply at one of the websites in the link, some are free, others require a one time fee in sats.

Hmm, that's unfortunate. That means anyone with a scheduled automatic monthly dca above 500CHF will eventualy get caught on this. When you include weekends and holidays where payments are postponed until next work day, and if subsequent month payment goes through as planned, they will be in trouble :(

2025-01-31 11:42:33 UTC

- reply

Can't say I like the changes, but at least you're still in business. I have a question though: if I have a monthly dca plan set to 999CHF that triggeres 1st of every month, will the KYC verification get triggered on the 1st of march, since february has less than 30 days?

Double check your 1000 CHF limit before you make a move to Switzerland. Last week I got a mail from my swiss nokyc-sat-dealer where it says that from now on the limit is 999 CHF for all payments within a rolling 30-day period. Which effectively means 999 CHF per month and not per day anymore. At least I read it like that, I could be wrong here...

As a long time user of Bittr I can say their strongest point is probably sheer ease of use. Once you get the setup done (set receiving onchain address) you just do bank transfers as many times as you want. No user account, no kyc, straight into self-custody.
Dunno what fees for (onchain) withdrawal exchanges as Kraken currently have, but for the purpose of regular DCAing into the market, Bittr takes all the hassle for you. And for me that's more important than a 1.5% fee.

https://getbittr.com/ - the easiest that I have found for EU. Verify your wallet once (not yourself, but you sign a message from your own wallet) and then just do bank transfers to provided IBAN as many times as you wish. They immediately convert EUR to BTC and send it to your address.

Yes, RaspiOS is based off debian and is the default OS that people usually use on a RPi. If you have a monitor, usb keyboard and mouse at hand go for OS "with desktop" option, otherwise try "lite" (headless) version and you can control it from your pc/mac through SSH. Either way connect it to your router with a cable. There's plenty of online tutorials to help you getting it set up.
Usually routers by default assign different IPs to new devices each time the device connects. For your use case it would be better to tell your router that anytime it sees the RPi, it gives it the same (static) IP - so you can be sure where to find it later when Umbrel gets online. Again, google is your friend on how exactly you need to do that - it depends on the router model.
I'm sorry if this seems overly complicated, but if you can't get Umbrel up the easy way, you'll just need to figure out what is causing the problem. You might also try out Citadel/RaspiBlitz/Start9 or something similar to Umbrel first, but chances are you will get just as stuck with those.

2024-01-26 08:41:11 UTC

- reply

Did you manage to fix it already? If not, I would suggest first flashing a stock RaspiOS on the SD card, just to double check all hardware works fine.
Unplug SSD drive (those can be a real pain with a RPi if you don't have a separate power source for it), flash OS and connect to your home network. Then login to your router and set a static IP for the RPi. Reboot RPi and check if new IP is active.
If all this works, try reinstalling Umbrel and see if RPi responds on the new static IP.
PS: if you have two SD cards available you can save yourself some time and have a separate installation one for Umbrel and second one for testing with RaspiOS. You just swap cards and that's it, no reflashing needed. If you have any questions send me a DM...

Thumbs up for Ava's answer - steganograpy alone can be detected and if using plain text easily deciphered.
So make sure you first encrypt your secret/seed/nsec, then use steganography to hide encrypted text into the file/photo/document.
My advice would be to start small (don't play with your btc seed just yet). Instead you could try hiding a "secret message" within your art and give instructions to decipher it to whoever buys the piece.

RPi4 should be perfect for the job!
I haven't looked into snowflake yet, so I can't really say. I think I saw an app in Umbrel store to run one, so you can try that as well - that should be even easier to install and run than a regular relay.

2023-12-04 21:45:52 UTC

Nothing special if you run a "normal" (non-exit) tor relay. Use a device that is powered on 24/7, you can set limits on bandwidth usage if you need to. Other than that you just need to be handy enough to forward ports on your router/firewall and to modify various config files and such.

Sorry for your brother... As for the data, instead of searching for lost coins it might be easier (and probably more valuable to you) to recover his music.
Try to contact Microsoft - if he was signing in with his MS account, they might be able to help you.
If that doesn't work, detach hard drive(s) from his PC and get them to someone who knows how to deal with data recovery. If you're lucky and he didn't encrypt the drives it could be very easy to get all data from them.

2023-09-09 06:31:43 UTC

I would first attempt to recover. If it's really just not enough free space left on your drive then maybe try to clone to bigger drive:
- buy 2TB drive
- clone your existing drive partition to new drive (plenty of disk cloning tools are available)
- expand cloned partition on new drive to 2TB
- connect it back to your node and hope it works :)
